By (user no longer on site) OP     over a year ago

So I've been thinking a lot lately about starting to look for a relationship again.

Not right away probably a few months down the line but it has occurred to me outside of fab my social and work life is fairly isolated/male centric.

So that got me thinking whete the heck do you actually meet people?

In the past it was uni/college etc .

Is online dating the main way now?

My hobies are mostly either solo hobbies or male dominated so theres little chance there.

I'd like to know. I'm online dating sites and omg they are the worst! More a shag fest than here.

I'd like to find a partner who would also like to swing, but no one wants to entertain that idea with me on here either.

I am of no help.

Somewhere where women go? Pilates or some other bullshit.

I'd like to think that meeting via friends is a good option, where you may stand a greater chance of having shared interests.

It depends upon the extent that you'd like swinging in your life, to some extent. For many of us it could be hard to leave it behind.

If swinging is preferred then fab is probably your best bet, coupled with the benefits of swinging friends.

I'm keeping my eye on this thread.....

I'd love to find a man to build a relationship, but as someone said about dating sites, they are more shag than dates...

Maybe its an age thing, but I find all my friends are married or in relationships and do coupley things at weekends, so I become a lonely flutter...

I know when we go out on our bike and do the stopping off for refreshments thing there are girls....either hanging around looking at the bikes or with their own machines - that way you could combine your hobby/interests within a relationship. I am not sure if there are places like that close to you but I do know that the carousel in Southport (every weekend and most evenings) and the Scotch Piper pub in Lydiate (Wednesday and Saturday nights) are regular hangouts

Smile at people in public. Go to a different pub, ask one of your work mates to set you up with someone, I'm trying to widen my circle of friends first, I shouldnt think it would take long for the op to find someone being fit and that!!

This is very true......but if I'm out shopping etc with her, she always manages to get guys talking to her. We went away last Sumner and it was like I'm invisible. She's married and she points that out straight away by mentioning her hubby though. She's ten yrs older than me too, but she gets guys 40 ish chatting her up.....I feel like an ugly sister lol xx

She's certainly got the gift of the gab.....She's a brummie and isn't backwards at coming forwards....

I must try not to be so reserved as I think I come over also as being standoffish....

Once I know someone I'm fine but it's getting over that first hurdle......getting them to smile at me lol xx

Sorry, "God's Waiting Room" is usually the term that applies to Eastbourne, in Sussex!

I lived and worked in Eastbourne for a couple of years; finding young people (then) was well-nigh impossible!

Why do you need to be chatted up? Can women not make the first move?

I'm terrible at recognising when someone is attracted to me or flirting with me, I'm well known for it a "would you like to go for a drink?" would be great for me

I'm married so I'm probably not going to be very helpful, but. ..

Guys have chatted me up in coffee shops and on the train. In both places, I was sitting alone and would have been receptive had I not been married. I think they are friendly environments for flirty chat.

As other have mentioned, MeetUp is a good site. You can choose different groups to join based on your interests and make new friends. I get that your hobbies are solo ones, but maybe if you're looking to meet someone you need to change that a bit? I've had guys hit on my on MeetUp, too. Again, I might have been receptive had I not been married.

I don't think it's that hard to meet people offline. It's just that lots of us are so used to having the Internet, and being loners that we don't give ourselves the opportunities anymore. Just change a few of your activities.

Btw- Marc gets all sorts of attention from young women while running our dog. If you have a dog you could try that, and take a breather by a hot woman

I was going to suggest MeetUp as well. It's not aimed at finding a relationship but if your problem is not meeting enough women generally it could help widen your social circle.

This is a difficult one for me, I've never activily looked for a relationship in my life they've just happened. Met in all different situations. I personally would never use a dating site although I've had relationships where I've met people just online in general. I get chatted up in all sorts of places, I was in the place into for coffee on Sunday and some guy invited me to share his roast potatoes with him .but what I have found in general I tend to be chatted up more when I'm on my own than with a big group

Although if your out in a pub you do.

A nice smile and just passing a bit of chit chat can work wonders

Just before I joined fab I found a socialising website. Took ages to find! They have loads of get-together's every month that you can pick and choose - for a monthly fee - but quite a few events are free after that! Sounded pretty good to me - and seems a more natural way to meet nice people than dating - so at some point this year I'll try that if it's still there! Even if I meet someone i'd stay on fab for the forum banter and socials though! I'm very fond of my fab family!

God knows. Haven't had a proper relationship since I broke up with my daughters father 6 years ago.

Met him when we were both 17 and used to see him every weekend in this particular nightclub we went to, I started speaking to his friends and went back to house parties for about a month then one night when everyone had crashed out we went to one of the bedrooms, not proud but both of us a little under the influence of things we can't discuss. Spent about 5 hours smoothing his willy and rolling it between my hands the same way you make a worm out of plasticine. Was also on my period and remember him coming to the toilet and asking if he could put a new tampax in and I let him. After that we drove to my house and got loads of clothes then to his parents house and there I lived for 9 years!

Only relationship if you can call it that was 2012/2013 guy off here from way up north of England, distance and age he was younger than me, didn't really work out.

To go back to your original question the short answer is to change some of your lifestyle choices and for vanilla dating then work, swimming pool, libraries and gigs have worked for me.

Online widens the pool and also means if you have a 'theme' to life then it can be targeted. 'The Long View' did a program exactly about this on radio 4 this week, interesting listening!

As for me I am a romantic eccentric, add a layer of swinging and another of kink (big time)then that is a hard conversation to start in Tesco!

Meh! life will happen, just get on with living it!

I'm with the OP, the male half of us was so far beyond even thinking of a relationshit as a possibility that lifelong batchelors used to point at him as a definition of a batchelor, literally had no interest whatsoever in a relationshit (not a typo, but an attitude)

The female half of us was ina relationshit but one that had run it's course, she was looking for sex, not love or a relationshit or the end of the relationshit she had at that time.

We met on here just over a year ago.

Instant mutual addiction, within a month she was moving in, and (vomit bags at the ready) it just keeps getting stronger and stonger.

It was as unexpected as being hit by a bus, I think the old saying about you can't go looking for it, but if it finds you, look out, holds true.

Is online dating the main way now?

My hobies are mostly either solo hobbies or male dominated so theres little chance there.

I think online dating is easy for men - because there are so many more women wanting relationships they can cherry pick generally.

I would say OKC would suit you, you can define some sexual criteria on there without taboo.

Like fab in reverse?

-Courtney "

Exactly! Blast, you copied my emoji typo before I got a chance to delete it haha!!

I've had far more luck on here finding 'something more', dating sites are just full of men wanting an nsa shag! Hot young men maybe, but even they get boring after a while.....

"I think I'm undateable and probably not relationship material. I'm not sad about it. I've just accepted it.

Blokes do not chat me up in pubs or coffee houses...

I don't think there's anything significantly wrong with me in fact I'm quite nice.

In the meantime life goes on.

You are a lovely person

Meant not "

Lol. We need to go out and peruse these supermarket aisles. I'll be your wingwoman

Maybe it's because at the moment I'm not willing to compromise. I like my life.

Having said that, the longer I'm on Fab the less likely I am to find lurve I guess.

There are not many blokes out there who want a bisexual vodka swilling swingle!

It seems that either I'm just ugly or guys don't know how to smile back now!!"

"The ice cream aisle in a supermarket might be a good place to look. Women looking for comfort after a break up,vulnerable and needing a friendly man who is an expert in ice cream.

Where is the best place to meet single men? "

There are quite a few single guys I know that go to the gym, or group classes like circuit training or insanity. I asked a girl out I got to know from going to circuit training class. Went on a few dates with her. I'm tempted to go start yoga classes if that's where the women are, if I don't meet any at least I'll improve my flexibility in the meantime.

People of all shapes and sizes go, and all at different levels of fitness. Everyone has to start somewhere and you just take it at your own pace. I don't have a clue about yoga, my flexibility isn't the best but gotta start somewhere.

"Do you have any friends that can do some matchmaking, friends of friends...?!

Or like Courtney suggested get yourself a dog. Years ago I used to see this guy the same time every morning in the park, over time our dogs got playing we got chatting which lead to a few dates."

I do have 2 mates in bands that keep inviting me to their gigs.

I might actually make a commitment to go some time.

Thing is im shit at aproaching people, if i dont know if somone likes me im awkward as fuck.

thats why i like fab you know instantly in the first interaction if the person likes you and is interested and with that hurdle out of the way im much more relaxed and calm and myself.

I need a shirt with a pair of buttons "interested or not" and invite peopel to press them at the start of conversation :p

If you don't want to go alone I'd go with you as a mate if you like? I'm sure we'll find you a lovely lass in no time! I could be your Aunt Peach!

Well you're certainly fit THX so a class like that would be a good idea - and if you meet someone they'd share your interest in fitness, which is good!

Online dating is a bit of a funny world to me. I see lots of people on there expecting a lot while offering very little. A lot of women confuse looking for a relationship with looking for a fuck.

A woman over 30 or 40 with 3 or 4 kids ( some with different dads), not earning much, etc has got to be realistic in setting targets as long as finding a man is concerned.

I am under no illusions the same argument can be made for a man also.

In my opinion, this is the problem with (online) dating these days. People expect too much of potential mates.

I've found relationships come along when you least expect it. I've met women from filling up at the petrol station to shopping for clothes.

If you're going all out for a relationship I'd recommend online dating.

I don't like meeting women I date in the gym as if things go pear shaped it can be a little awkward for both parties especially if you both go regularly. I learnt that one quite recently.

"I'd like to know. I'm online dating sites and omg they are the worst! More a shag fest than here.

I'd like to find a partner who would also like to swing, but no one wants to entertain that idea with me on here either.

I am of no help.

Somewhere where women go? Pilates or some other bullshit.

i went to burleaque fitness tonight..id agree the teacher even was going on about all those little housewives going home and giving thier hubbies a show..i was like wtf am i doing here....all the women tittered.like it was a taboo thing to do....i was like, if only they knew..

depressing isnt it?"

Not depressing but odd that adults can be so coy. Reminds me of Woman's Hour; they thought they were being risque by talking about tampons.

You just took me back 15 years. It happened to me. I was fixing a petrol pump at a Tesco garage in Oxfordshire. A lady in her forties just walked up to me on that cold morning and handed me her phone number. The rest is history.

Ha ha. This lady couldn't get her fuel cap off but I later found out it was a ploy to chat me up lol. I did have my uniform on at the time which probably helped as it's never happened when I'm in my civvies.

Look for a fitty once you've spotted one use some sort of push/pull piece of equipment, lat pull downs is the best, then ask if any of the fitties have some liquid grip for your beautiful little delicate lady hands!

Looks like yoga is where it's at to find the ladies then. I'm definitely gonna find a class and give it a go. Just imagining the positions I could get a super flexible lady into in the bedroom now.
